I've been going to Fitstyler Boot in Melbourne CBD twice a week for 12 weeks now and can certainly see an increase in my fitness levels. I am much stronger (I can do 50 pushups - Read more...

Kath Stephenson, North Fitzroy

I'm the first to admit that when I started boot camp in North Fitzroy, I never would've believed that I would enjoy it so much or that I would see such Read more...

a change in my body. People who I haven't seen in a while always comment on how much I have changed physically and I have certainly noticed a change in myself and my fitness levels"

Laura Reynolds, North Fitzroy

I joined up with Fitstyler Northcote Boot camp to start something new and to improve my fitness/strength. I was only keen on participating in a few sessions in the beginning, Read more...

but as the weeks progressed I found the sessions quite enjoyable and my fitness and strength had improved a lot! Having stuck to it, I look forward to the class each week.

energy to meet the demands of looking after a 7 month old. It is wonderful to do something for myself and know that I can take my baby Louis with me.

great ! I actually look forward to it as its different every time and we usually have a bit of a laugh too. but the best thing is jeans I couldn't squeeze into at christmas are loose now.

Bronagh Hall, Carlton North

Just thought I would take time to send you a note of thanks. Having spent the last 8 weeks at North Fitzroy Read more...

Boot camp I am amazed and the lift in energy and stamina , particularly over the last 3 or 4 weeks, and not only in the boot camp sessions but right throughout the day. Feeling good just builds a positive attitude and helps in making the right decisions on nutrition, but as they say, you eat an elephant one bite at a time, and changing all those entrenched bad habits may take some time yet

Paul Carolan, Fitzroy

Fitstyler's Fitzroy Boot camp is a wonderful way to get fit. I use to struggle to make myself go to the gym. I felt unmotivated and bored once I got there achieving only minimum results. Read more...

With Fitstyler the time flies, with the innovative exercises and games. Although you are pushed to your limits, you are also given a choice of the level you wish to perform at. As a consequence my health and fitness has improved and my knee joints are stronger as a result of the exercises. A great way to get fit.

Janet McKinnon, Fitzroy

Jo Toscano North Fitroy

In terms of losing weight for the wedding - mission accomplished! I lost four kilos in the 12 weeks leading up to the big day. Read more...

"My partner Samantha and I joined Fitstyler towards the end of last year with a view to losing a few extra kilos before our wedding at the end of February. Our other motivation was that we felt we weren't getting the right results from the gym.

Initially, we only committed to joining Fitstyler up to the wedding but we've enjoyed it so much that we've dumped our gym membership and will keep doing our boot camp sessions on Tuesday and Thursday nights.

We really like the variety in the sessions - especially boxing on a Tuesday night. In fact, we enjoy the boxing so much that we've bought our own equipment and do stuff on our own at other times of the week. We also enjoy the fact the sessions are not taken too seriously and are done at a pace that suits everyone.

The social aspect of Fitstyler is also great fun. Andrew makes a real effort to keep everyone connected and the couple of dinners we've been to so far we've really enjoyed.

We look forward to being part of Fitstyler for a long time to come! "

Damien Booth

The hardest part of committing to any fitness exercise program is taking the first step, our Melbourne Boot Camp Fitness testimonials help you see that our programs are not only fun but give fantastic results.

Fitness Participant (Sally)

Boot Camp Fitness Lose Weight

Boot Camp Trainer: Well I’ve got Sally here, how you going Sally?

Fitness Participant: Hi guys.

Boot Camp Trainer: Sally made it this morning, it was a very cool seven degrees, the leaves are falling off the trees, we’re sort of getting into the heart of winter, so Sally you’ve been with Fitstyler, just coming up to twelve months, what motivates you to keep coming back to our boot camp? Especially what were your original goals?

Fitness Participant: My original goal was to lose weight and also to get a little bit fitter, I was sitting on a couch a lot and when I found Andrew’s group fitness classes on the website and I found that the group was fun, we get to do lots of different things …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … in a beautiful setting …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … yes it can get colder in winter but you know, get over it (with a smile). I think it’s just the people and also the trainers are a lot of fun, I mean sometimes they yell at us [laughing] …

Boot Camp Trainer: [laughing]

Fitness Participant: … so …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah, we sort of encourage [both laughing]

Fitness Participant: Yep.

Boot Camp Trainer: And in terms of your fitness and since that you’ve been coming with us, you’ve seen obviously a great change in …

Fitness Participant: Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: … terms of you know, your weight loss and how you look and feel, have people commented or what’s happened there?

Fitness Participant: Yeah, well over the last probably twelve to eighteen months I’ve lost about fifteen kilos and during that period I have been coming to Andrew’s classes very regularly and I attribute a lot of it coming to Andrew’s classes very regularly, we do all sorts of different things and the trainers are pretty good in the sense that they, they know when to push you and when to ease up, also when I’ve got injuries, and so you’ve just got to keep doing it.

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: Yeah. And the fact is you know, you know every week you’ve got to make, this is an appointment sort of which just pushes you.

Boot Camp Trainer: Well that’s the whole thing, it’s like creating a habit …

Fitness Participant: Yes.

Boot Camp Trainer: … and you know, that’s the hardest part you know, it’s just treating it like an appointment especially when you get, busy in your life. I mean it’s a beautiful morning, there is some blue sky somewhere behind the clouds, but it is cold, it is Saturday morning, people are at home and they’ve got plenty of doona time, however you’re out here, out in the cooler weather, so there has to be something that keeps driving you back …

Fitness Participant: Exactly.

Boot Camp Trainer: … you know, week after week …

Fitness Participant: Yeah, and I …

Boot Camp Trainer: … yesh …

Fitness Participant: … I remember when Andrew said and that the greatest distance that you travel is not the ten kilometres to get to bootcamp, it’s actually that six centimeters between your bed and the floor in the morning to get out of bed] [laughing] …

Boot Camp Trainer: [laughing]

Fitness Participant: … during winter, so it’s very encouraging and remember that every time you go, oh, I don’t really want to get up …

Boot Camp Trainer: Exactly it’s the hardest …

Fitness Participant: … get up, do it and you’ll the results and achieve whatever goals you want …

Boot Camp Trainer: Well that sounds really …

Fitness Participant: … you can do it.

Boot Camp Trainer: … and Sally, she looks fantastic and …

Fitness Participant: Thank you.

Boot Camp Trainer: … and you’re going to continue and now I guess it’s more about maintenance …

Fitness Participant: Yes.

Boot Camp Trainer: … and thank you so Sally.

Fitness Participant: No worries, good job.

Boot Camp Trainer: Thanks, see ya

Fitness Participant: Good thanks, Andrew.

Boot Camp Trainer: Jacky’s been with us actually for two years, coming, Tuesday week …

Fitness Participant: Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: … so that’s an amazing effort, so when you joined Fitstyler Boot camp, what were some of your goals?

Fitness Participant: I wanted to increase my fitness obviously …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … and um, and I probably wanted to lose a bit of weight …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … probably lose about ten kilos or so …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … be able to um, maybe start running again.

Boot Camp Trainer: Okay.

Fitness Participant: That’s my goal really.

Boot Camp Trainer: And how did you go with weight loss?

Fitness Participant: Yeah, I, look at an increase in the fitness level and losing the weight all goes together so yeah, I’ve managed to lose ten kilos …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … now and …

Boot Camp Trainer: That is awesome.

Fitness Participant: … yeah, and with an increasing fitness level I’ve started running again so I’ve managed to make all those goals then to actually surpass them.

Boot Camp Trainer: That is awesome. And, and tell us about the training because I know that we have little groups, I break people up into different groups depending on their running ability and you’re just absolutely sensational now with your running…

Fitness Participant: [laughing]

Boot Camp Trainer: … and it’s, you know, it is quite noticeable, what about some of the runs that you do, because I noticed that you started running on your own …

Fitness Participant: Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: … and doing some runs around the um, track along the Yarra and so forth …

Fitness Participant: Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: … how long are those runs that you’re doing at the moment?

Fitness Participant: I started off just running little short runs …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … and building it up over time and …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … now I’ve been running nine to ten, um, ten kilometres …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … probably two to three times a week now, yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: That’s pretty amazing like you think about people who do those sort of distances when they’re, you know, when there training for a half marathon …

Fitness Participant: Mmm.

Boot Camp Trainer: … and you’re just doing this on your own …

Fitness Participant: Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: … out on the site and the most amazing thing about that I have to mention is that about Jacky is that you know when people say oh, I don’t have time, I’m too busy, you know that lack of motivation, well Jacky’s actually a nurse and …

Fitness Participant: Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: … she works crazy hours, does a typical …

Fitness Participant: Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: …shift work and you know, god bless all the nurses out there, that are out there staffing our hospitals, but you’ve managed to, tell us about how you managed to get to the sessions, I mean you obviously work both ends of the day …

Fitness Participant: Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: … so evenings and nights, how do…

Fitness Participant: Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: … manage to get to the …

Fitness Participant: I just really make it a priority, like …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … I swap my boot camp sessions around and …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … most weeks I can try and get off work, I can get to two sessions in …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … so that’s the most I can really commit to …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah, yeah.

Fitness Participant: … there’s the odd week that I can’t, but then I’ll make it up the following week so …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah, yeah.

Fitness Participant: … I just move them around and, and really you know, it’s like I just make it part of the day that I have to do

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … there’s no question about whether I come or not …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … I just come.

Boot Camp Trainer: That’s awesome and that’s the hardest part and if there’s any message to take away to people that are looking at doing exercise, not necessarily Fitstyler boot camp but any sort of activity…be it an outdoor activity or any sort of exercise program, being a gym, or joining a health club, is it’s all about is making as Jacky said, it is about it being a priority and if you make it a priority, it’s like having a business appointment, you just do it, you don’t think about it …

Fitness Participant: Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: … and Jacky what keeps you coming back, it’s been two years, it’s a long time to commit to any exercise program

Fitness Participant: Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: … a big commitment, we’re outside it rains, it’s cold …

Fitness Participant: Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: … and, I mean it’s beautiful, it’s not too bad this morning but generally it can get unpleasant weather wise…

Fitness Participant: Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: … I mean what generally keeps you motivated and interested in continuing?

Fitness Participant: Look I like it being outside …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … it’s better than being in a gym …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … inside and, and I really like the fresh air and in the winter you don’t get a lot of fresh air any other time …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … so it’s lovely to be outside but there’s also the social aspect of it …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … you know, I get some really nice people coming and …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … even now there’s a bit of social sort of group that we’re pulling together and it’s seeing each other outside …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … of Boot camp

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … you know, you don’t really do that in a gym, you don’t do that on your own, you don’t really do that with personal training either …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … but yeah, it’s got a lot of benefit.

Boot Camp Trainer: I think that’s something that’s really, I mean that’s what I tell people as well, like it’s quite special and I feel that I’m fortunate to be part of you guys and we’re going out next Thursday, actually to the local restaurant, it’s just part of why we are all here …

Fitness Participant: Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: … we’re going to go in our training gear, all hot and sweaty but the main thing is that …

Fitness Participant: Yeah it’s fun..

Boot Camp Trainer: … yeah, we’re all here, you know week in, week out doing some great stuff, trying to improve our fitness, our health and just have a group of people with similar interests …

Fitness Participant: Yeah, that’s it,

Boot Camp Trainer: … we’re all out there …

Fitness Participant: … similar interests and people who are keen to be healthy …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … it’s, you know that’s where you meet them, just somewhere like this.

Boot Camp Trainer: And we’ve got all these great little, sub little groups that we have and it’s …

Fitness Participant: Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: … it’s really special and I’m really fortunate to be a part of, part of this whole experience and a part of these groups..

Fitness Participant: Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: … and that’s what it’s all about so, thanks again Jacky.

Fitness Participant: No worries Andrew.

Boot Camp Fitness – Fitness and Weight

Boot Camp Trainer: [music] Well I’ve got Paul here, Paul’s been with us now for what, just over three years?

Fitness Participant: Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: And , initially when Paul came to us, what you had some goals, you wanted to lose some weight and that was the initial focus when you were joining.

Fitness Participant: Yeah, well I started about three years ago, , when I first turned up I was about oh, just over ninety kilos …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah, yeah.

Fitness Participant: … and I wanted to get down to eighty and , it took me about ten months , …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … got down to seventy six at one stage …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … I’ve been probably seventy eight kilos now for two years, so …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah, that’s awesome …

Fitness Participant: … you know, I’ve been able to not only get there but , actually stay and maintain it, it’s been great.

Boot Camp Trainer: So the main thing is now that you’ve been, , I guess forming a habit that you sort of just get here, you also go walking,

Fitness Participant: Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: … but the main thing is that you have been able to get to the boot camp sessions regularly over such a long period, what has kept you coming back?

Fitness Participant: Yeah, oh, I do three sessions a week , you know from my point of view it’s got a really good balance between the sort of intensity you want …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … in training to get a good fitness outcome as well as …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … a little bit of fun and you know …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … it’s a pretty good bunch of people that you get to, to mix with and different types of people from the, the morn… the early morning session to the Saturday sessions you know …

Boot Camp Trainer: [laughing] yeah.

Fitness Participant: … so it’s, it’s just a really good balance about it and , you know, you get a bit of personalized interest, you know, you’re just not a number and you know you get to know you’re just not a number, you know, you get to know your, your clients, it’s been really good, so it’s, it’s been an easy thing to do to get out of bed at quarter to six in morning and keep going, believe it or not …

Boot Camp Trainer: Oh, quarter to six speaking of which I mean today it was seven degrees, it’s probably about eight degrees now, it is a Melbourne morning and how do you find that? It is rainy, you can see, oh, you can’t sort of see, because it’s off camera, but there is, the ground is wet, it was raining earlier, sort of …

Fitness Participant: Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: … moving in, you know, into shelter, out of shelter, I mean how, how do you find it coming up, you think oh, it’s, you know, it’s six a.m. or half past five during the week or eight o’clock on a Saturday morning and you think, oh, it’s dark, it’s cold, you know …

Fitness Participant: That’s a good thing about group training, I, I, I think the other people sort of drag you along and …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant: … you know, once you’re here, you’re here and they sort of push you along and as I said, you have a bit of fun as you go and that sort of, the hour goes pretty, pretty quick you know, so, no it’s good.

Boot Camp Trainer: And, and it’s certainly cold, I mean you can see the condensation as we speak …

Fitness Participant: You warm up in two minutes

Boot Camp Trainer: … yeah, so the main thing is it’s not really that hard, I mean a lot of people find it is hard and it’s all about forming a habit, it’s almost like brushing your teeth, you don’t say one day, oh, will l brush, will I brush my teeth tonight or maybe I’ll let it go to the morning, and the morning comes, oh, I think I’ll brush my teeth tonight and so it’s all about that habit and when you just get to a point where, as Paul has, three years, you just get up, you do it, you feel great and then you , you’re done for the day, so it’s great

Fitness Participant: Yeah, I think you surprise yourself with how quickly you, you actually feel the improvement so the first couple of sessions might be tough but very quickly you feel better, it’s easier, you’re pushing harder …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah, yeah.

Fitness Participant: … in the session so you know it’s a small hump to get over.

Boot Camp Trainer: And Paul’s amazing,, well it got to a point where I don’t train Paul anymore as I have other trainers, but , I actually wouldn’t run with Paul because thought that he’d out sprint me [laughing].

Fitness Participant: I’ve run out of steam these days [laughing]

Boot Camp Trainer: Alright, well thanks heaps Paul.

Fitness Participant: Thanks Andrew.

Boot Camp Trainer: And , we’ll get to it.

Fitness Participant: Righto mate, cheers.

Boot Camp Trainer: Thanks heaps to Paul for his awesome testimonial, while Boot camp may seem intimidating, as you can see you can get great results and more importantly you can maintain your fitness level and weight.

Boot Camp Fitness, Social Fun and Social (4:49)

Boot Camp Trainer: [Music] Oh, it’s Saturday morning thanks a lot for coming guys.

Fitness Participant 2 (Helen): Cool.

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): You’re welcome.

Boot Camp Trainer: I’ve got Lisa and Helen, between the two of them being with Fitstyler for over two years now and Lisa’s very kindly has worn a Fitstyler Tee which I didn’t expect you to wear the tees but thank you very. As it’s a Saturday and you guys have made the trip down this morning so thanks again.

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): No problem.

Boot Camp Trainer: So Lisa you’ve been with us now for about a year and a half, why did you originally come to Fitstyler?

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): Okay, I tried the gym thing, didn’t like it, tried Body attack, didn’t like it, and a friend mentioned Boot camp to me and I like the idea of being outdoors, I did start just before winter so it was kind of hard and I thought if I could conquer winter I could conquer anything really.

Boot Camp Trainer: And you’re onto your second winter now?

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): I am and I guess I’m a Fitstyler addict.

Boot Camp Trainer: I think Lisa’s won our prize actually for the highest attendance, 95% so far so it’s looking good for our Fitstyler awards in December

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): Did I.

Boot Camp Trainer: … for the highest attendance, Lisa I don’t think there’s any, misses, if she misses a sessions she’s out of the country.

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): There’s a reason for it, there’s a reason for it, so I mean I love it, it’s great.

Boot Camp Trainer: And, and what about yourself Helen?

Fitness Participant 2 (Helen): I’m not quite as dedicated.

Boot Camp Trainer: So you miss the occasional session.

Fitness Participant 2 (Helen): But I guess what I like about it motivates me the next week to get back up and you know five thirty in the morning and get back out there, like when you miss the gym session for a couple of weeks you start going oh, no, I’m not going to go anymore, I’ve changed my mind since joining Fitstyler

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant 2 (Helen): … but with Fitstyler, you know your friends are there braving the cold

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): Yeah.

Fitness Participant 2 (Helen): … you have a laugh in the morning, it’s good.

Boot Camp Trainer: That’s what I want to touch on guys, so when you say friends, obviously you guys didn’t know each other before you appeared here together today as friends, I mean how has that side of Fitstyler developed? The sense of community and friendships?

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): Yeah, sure, I mean there’s always newsletters and social events and dinners which is good and Christmas parties so it’s, it’s a social thing as well, it’s not just the, you know, the get fit side of it as well, but, and there’s always nutritional support and guidelines and little tips and handy hints to keep fit, so that’s a nice side of it, an aspect that I like.

Fitness Participant 2 (Helen): And the other thing I guess is that it’s always a bit of a laugh when you go to the class and you always have a laugh

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): Yeah, exactly.

Fitness Participant 2 (Helen): … have a bit of fun with your friends as you’re exercising you can raise that way and talk while you’re exercising …

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): Yeah.

Fitness Participant 2 (Helen): … so that’s great fun.

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: And I don’t actually take Carlton, every now and then I run the session when Michael can’t do it, however one thing that I’ve noticed at the Carlton group, actually any Fitstyler group is that each session has it’s own identity and it’s own little friendships …

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: … and you guys are obviously quite close and when you come, you get trained in the group, catch up with your friends. It was awesome when you’re all chatty and laughing and having fun

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): Yeah. Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: As you now know each other and it’s just like catching up for a coffee with your friends …

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): Yeah, exactly.

Boot Camp Trainer: … you do the exercise, have a bit of fun.

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): Exactly and Carlton actually is really nice as well, because sometimes some mornings with the balloons that come down and it’s actually a nice ambience isn’t it?

Fitness Participant 2 (Helen): Yeah, it’s beautiful isn’t it?

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): Yeah.

Fitness Participant 2 (Helen): Yeah.

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): Yeah, no it’s awesome.

Boot Camp Trainer: You know we’re pretty, we’re pretty lucky in the parks I mean all our parks are quite beautiful, we do try to pick out flagship parks around Melbourne …

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): Yeah.

Boot Camp Trainer: … and I think that Princess Park is one of them, especially this spot where we train, it’s like you said all the balloons are coming over …

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): Mmm.

Boot Camp Trainer: … and it’s quite picturesque.

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): Yeah.

Fitness Participant 2 (Helen): I liked it when the Melbourne Storm boys were coming in the morning, wasn’t it?

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): Good on you Helen.

Boot Camp Trainer: Good on you Helen [all laughing].

Fitness Participant 2 (Helen)

They don’t come anymore so …

Boot Camp Trainer: And just quickly about the sessions, I mean how are they from session to session?

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): Yeah, they vary, it’s never the same session every week, like couple of weeks we might do a boxing session that’s really the only thing that’s the same every couple of weeks …

Boot Camp Trainer: Yeah.

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): … but everything else is really varied so kind of like a, like a dip, you don’t know what you’re going to get and it’s great.

Boot Camp Trainer: Cool.

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): Yeah.

Fitness Participant 2 (Helen): And it’s really challenging each week …

Fitness Participant 1 (Lisa): Mmm.
